DBF=ul-db

Because they are aliases, if DBF is used concurrently, the last one specified takes precedence.

If you are connecting to multiple databases on different devices from a single connection string, you can use the following parameters to name platform-specific alternates:

• CE_FILE
• desktop
• device
• NT_FILE

If specified, these platform-specific connection parameters take precedence over DBF.

The value of DBF must meet the file name requirements for the platform.

Windows Mobile   If you are deploying to a Windows Mobile device, UltraLite utilities and wizards can administer an UltraLite database on an attached Windows Mobile device. To identify a file on a Windows Mobile device, you must specify the required absolute path, and use the wce:\ prefix.

Any leading or trailing spaces in parameter values are ignored. The value cannot include leading single quotes, leading double quotes, or semicolons.
